Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The toaster oven is a structurally simplified and compact version of a full-scale oven, making it easier to use.It is convenient for cooking simple oven dishes such as gratin, and especially for baking thick toast. It is so called because it is often used.

When toast is baked in a toaster oven, the moisture in the toast is significantly lost (drying) until the toast is baked, resulting in the toast not being fluffy and not tasty.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks. First, another toaster oven related to the present invention will be explained based on the drawings as follows.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes an outer case having an opening on the front, which are in a fixed relationship with each other.
It is composed of a top plate 2, a rear plate 3, a front plate 4, a bottom plate 5, a side plate 7, and a side plate 8.

An upper wall 201 and a rear wall 301 partition the inner space of the outer case 1.
, left and right side walls 701, 801, and a front-pull-down opening/closing door 6 that closes the front opening form a cooking cabinet X that can maintain a substantially airtight state.

Further, the right side wall 801 and the side plate 8 form an electrical equipment room Y (respective electrical equipment parts, etc. are not shown).

Reference numeral 9 designates quartz tube heaters arranged one each in the upper and lower portions of the cooking chamber X, 10 designates a gridiron removably mounted above the lower heater 9, and 11 a time switch.

12 is a drip type water supply device, with a drip hole 131 at the bottom.
A rubber cap 14 is placed over the upper opening of a water storage tank 13 which is a cylindrical body having an upper opening.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a substantially elbow-shaped water supply device support stand which is attached to the side plate 8 as described later and has a water passageway 15 inside thereof, and the lower part of the water storage tank 13 is screwed into the enlarged diameter portion at one end of the passageway. It has become.

Reference numeral 16 denotes an ice supply pipe formed by bending a metal pipe, and includes an inclined portion □ that passes through approximately the center of each of the side plate 8 and the right side wall 801.
A vertical portion 16b hangs down along the right side wall 801 from below 16a to the height of the lower heater 9, and further includes a horizontal portion 16C extending horizontally from below and having a closed end.

161... are a large number of through holes drilled in the horizontal portion 16c of the water supply pipe.

The water supply pipe 16 and the water supply device support stand 15 are attached to the main body as follows.

That is, nuts 17a, 1, 7, . A nut 17c which clamps and tightens the right side wall 801 at b, and the upper side (rear side of the pipe) of the inclined part 1ea is fitted onto the nut 17c; The side plates 8 are sandwiched and tightened.

A method of using the toaster oven constructed as described above will be described below.

That is, the grill 1 is heated by the quartz tube heater 9.9.
When toasting the toast T placed on the toast T from both the upper and lower sides, the rubber cap 14 of the water supply device 12 is pressed with a finger just before or after the toast T is baked to a golden brown color.

Each time the water is suppressed, the water in the water tank 13 drips from the drip hole 131, and the water in the water supply device support 15 drops through the water passage 151. water supply pipe 1
The vertical part 16b1 of the pipe, which flows down the inclined part 16a of No. 6, but is already hot inside the cooking cabinet
It is instantaneously vaporized into water vapor at the part c, and the water vapor is ejected from the through holes 161 and sprayed onto the toast T.

However, only a small portion of the spouting steam directly touches the toast T, and most of it comes into contact with the toast T.
After the entire inside of the cooking chamber X has been moistened by convection, the moisture reaches the toast T, and even at that stage, the moisture still penetrates into the inside of the toast T. The drawback was that it was difficult.

FIG. 3 shows a toaster oven according to the present invention which has further improved the above-mentioned drawbacks, which will be explained below.

Note that the members and locations of the toaster oven main body portion in FIG. 3 are designated by the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 and 2.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 18 denotes a water supply device, which is composed of a gourd-shaped water storage tank 19 and a pump section 20 that pumps water by pressure driving of a piston 201.

21 is a water supply pipe made of a straight metal pipe, the rear end of which is fixed to the pump part 20, and the atomizing nozzle 22 (□) is attached to the tip, which sprays the spray uniformly over the entire top surface of the toast T. This is how it is done.

Reference numerals 23 and 24 indicate pipe insertion holes drilled upward from the center of the side plate 8 and the right side wall 801, respectively.
An opening/closing plate 25 with a spring is provided in the pipe insertion hole 24.

Reference numeral 26 denotes a pair of prismatic water supply device support stands screwed to the side plate 8 (only one is shown in the drawing), and a frame 191 is mounted on the inside thereof and is formed protruding from the outer periphery of the water tank 19. It has a concave guide groove 261 to be fitted.

Therefore, the water supply pipe 21 including the atomizing nozzle 22 is passed through the pipe insertion holes 23 and 24, and the water supply device 18 is attached to the main body by aligning the frame 191 with the guide groove 261 and sliding it to the left. It can be attached or removed.

In the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, when the piston 201 of the pump section 20 is driven to suppress, water in the water tank 19 is pumped through the water supply pipe 21 to the atomizing nozzle 22 every time the piston 201 is suppressed.
The nozzle 22 sprays the mist directly onto the entire upper surface of the toast T on the gridiron 10, and the mist adhering to the toast T gradually penetrates inside.

In the case of , there is no condition to inject water when at least the horizontal part 16'c of the water supply pipe 16 is hot, as in the case of the above-mentioned embodiment, so the water should be poured immediately before the toast T is baked. Of course, the heaters 9, 9 may be energized after spraying the toast T with mist.

As explained above, the toaster oven of the present invention has a structure in which a simple hydration device is detachably attached, so when processing food that does not require moistening, it can be used without this. It is also possible to easily inspect, maintain, and replace as necessary.
Since the attachment is done outside the outer case isolated from the heat source, there is no risk of damage due to heat.
When it is necessary to moisten the food to be cooked, each time the piston is pressed, the replenishing effect of mist moisture can be exerted directly and instantly, and it can penetrate into the inside of the food. In addition, the timing of replenishing the mist moisture can be selected at the beginning of baking the toast, or just before or after the toast is finished baking, which has many practical effects, making it possible to bake fluffy and delicious toast.
